Lima, Peru, cob 8 reales Royal, 1720M, extremely rare, Calico cover coin. S-L20; KM-unl. (cf. R34); CT-unl. (Type 130). 26.84 grams. Choice grade (arguably AU), with bold and well-centered strike, nearly full legends, attractive light toning, hole near edge at top of pillars / bottom of cross (aligned axes), unlisted in Lazaro and oddly also unlisted in Calico, even though pictured on the dust jacket cover, as probably discovered too recently to make the listings inside. Cover coin (dust jacket) for Calico's Numismatica espanola (2008).
